Sink repairs are very common due to the hard usage that sinks have to endure. Accidents like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can lead to chips and cracks on your sink. Using abrasive cleaners or soaps can dull your sink’s surface, making it more prone to dirt build-up. I’ve been repairing sinks for years and can provide full resurfacing for your sink when necessary. I perform all repairs at your location, and most sink repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use within 24 hours after repair, saving you time and avoiding replacement costs. It’s the most economical way to get a brand-new looking sink again without having to actually replace it. My repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will look brand new in no time!
A crucial part of a successful sink repair is matching the new enamel paint to the exact colour of your existing sink. This process requires mixing tinters into white enamel paint by eye until an exact match to your sink’s colour is achieved. When the new paint isn’t a perfect match, the repair will be visible. This highly specialised skill has been developed over years of hands-on work. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. Different brands use different shades of white, and factors like age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight can all change the shade. I pay close attention to get the perfect colour match whenever I perform repairs. If you opt for a full sink resurfacing, I’ll spray it with a brilliant white finish to make it look as good as new.
The materials I use are high-quality and not available in your typical DIY store. The bonder and enamel paint I use are the best quality, ensuring that all repairs are durable and long-lasting. With years of experience using these materials, I know they provide consistent, durable, and high-quality repairs. Other companies may try to cut costs with cheaper materials, but that can lead to failed repairs and subpar results. Every repair I do comes with a 12-month guarantee, unless stated otherwise.
The repair process starts with applying a special bonder to the damaged area and filling it in. I colour match the paint to your sink, then apply a second layer of bonder before spraying the enamel. Using a fine spray gun to apply the new surface ensures the repair will blend in as seamlessly as possible.
Before I fix any damage on a sink, I always assess how serious the damage is to determine the right repair approach. If the damage is just a few chips or scratches, I can handle it with a simple chip repair that takes only 1-2 hours. If the damage is greater and covers a larger area of the sink, it would be best to resurface the whole sink. For a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but I might suggest replacing the sink due to potential structural issues. If I proceed with the repair in this situation, I cannot provide a guarantee. But rest assured, this is an unlikely worst-case scenario.
The majority of my sink repairs will only take about 1-2 hours. This is a lot quicker than having to remove and replace your sink. Should you choose to resurface your sink, it will take about a day, as I must carefully mask off the surrounding room to prevent overspray. Even so, this is still much faster and more affordable than replacing your sink. I have experience restoring antique sinks and resurfacing them to make them look brand new. The detailing and features on antique sinks are often more beautiful than what you find on modern sinks. I’m here to assist if your sink needs saving.
Every repair I do is completed to a high standard, ensuring it lasts and blends in with regular use. You might be able to spot something with a torch, but that’s not something you’d typically do when using your sink normally. No reputable repair company will promise you an invisible repair, so be wary of any companies that do, because they probably won’t be in business for long.
Choosing to repair your sink instead of replacing it will save both money and time, and it’s a more environmentally friendly option. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
I’ve had some customers ask me about DIY Repair Kits and if they could just do their repairs themselves. DIY Repair Kits often include poor-quality materials that won’t provide a lasting repair. Getting a proper colour match is difficult with the basic tinter that comes with these kits. You can absolutely give it a try if you feel confident, but I’ll be here to do a professional repair when you ask me.
How long will a sink repair last?
Each of my sink repairs is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Your sink repair should last just as long as the sink itself, and any failure would occur within the first 12 months. The only time I can't offer a guarantee on a repair is if there is structural damage or extensive damage, and in this case, I'll make sure you know that I can't offer a guarantee before you go ahead with the repair. Typically, I recommend replacing the sink in such cases, but if you’d like to keep the original sink, we can still repair it.
